That and redesigning the MKZ, it's nothing like it's predecessor.
Lincoln named "ballsiest automaker" by Road & Track

In what I am billing as one of the most entertaining pieces of auto journalism so far this year, Road & Track has named Lincoln the "automaker with the biggest balls." Are you surprised? Let me tell you why.
The first reason is that Lincoln made sweet suicide door convertibles and amazing V12s. These were not just luxurious, they were the choice of many a president. One particular Lincoln Continental has the infamous legacy of being the car JFK was riding in on that fateful day.

The other reason for Lincoln winning this title is its move to selling fancier Fords to people now. Here is how Road & Track puts it.
Other automakers on the ballsy list are: Nissan, Ford, GM Tesla, Porsche, and Mercedes-Benz.
Check out the full article here, and let me know if you think that Lincoln deserves this title.

I'm sure some Lincoln faithfuls on this forum would argue with the idea that a Lincoln is just Ford scamming people into paying more money, but just remember that those are R&T's words, not mine.

ahh road and track, I've quite enjoyed watching their fall from grace. For full fledged auto journos they really do piss poor research. Hes banding about perceptions not actualities. If you actually get into the nitty gritty of the MKZ's construction its at worst 50% fusion, MKC does it ever better completely revising the Escape.
People wonder why lincoln does poorly, its because jackasses like this have way too much pull over the consumer mindset because they've been positioned as experts. when they;re little more than men with computers and nothing better to do all day but pretend to be experts...
hehehh
appologies for the rant but the auto journo world has been so stagnant for so long that now even the blogs are starting to succumb to these levels of jackassery
